Dear Susan, you put your finger on something that makes finding this property, back in 2012, so special. As Tyler, owner of The Red Barn nearby, from where we get our hay, said last Friday: “Yes, nothing extreme happens in this part of Oregon!”

It does feel like this neighborhood, predominantly comprised of country folk and incomers who were drawn here because of the local natural beauty, is on life’s slow track. Where having a natter with a passerby, cuddling a dog or two, or just watching the clouds, is what life is all about.
